The Fictional Town of Gatlin, NE - "Children of the Corn" Filming Location - Whiting, IA

The 1984 classic "Children of the Corn" took place in the fictional town of Gatlin, Nebraska. However, a majority of the town is actually Whiting, Iowa. All of these locations can be found up and down Whittier Street. The top photo in each photo duo is a still from the film, and the bottom photo is how the location appeared in April of 2018.

Job & Sarah's House - "Children of the Corn" Filming Location - Hornick, IA

This is the infamous "Children of the Corn House" from the film. Above is a still from the movie and below is how the home appeared in April of 2018. Frankly, I would absolutely love to buy this home and restore it!

Hansen's Cafe - "Children of the Corn" Filming Location - Hornick, IA

The interiors of Hansen's Café were actually in Hornick, Iowa. The building burned down and was razed, but you can see Isaac looking in the window of the café in the above still from the film. I stood approximately where he stood and took the photo across the street. As you can see the backgrounds match up.

Below is the location in April of 2018. The front of the cafe's foundation still remains! You can find it on Main Street in Hornick, Iowa.
